Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Without some capital it would be difficult to start many work at home opportunities. But that isn't a reason to give up before you begin. Whatever contacts you make be sure that you NEVER make a decision on anything the same day the offer is given. That's an old sales technique to increase your anxiety and push you to make a decision you are not ready to make. Any pressure from the person promoting or selling the opportunity is a sign that this may not be the right thing for you to do. Do not pay for materials offered by others. Do not sign anything! Putting your signature on something, even an information form, could set you up for a bad experience. Do not write checks or pay money or let them use your credit card or bank card for ID purposes. Yeah, right! Your driver's license or state ID is sufficient ID. Evaluate every opportunity carefully. Get the opinion of others. Find someone who has already done it and is satisfied. Beware that any references given by the company or its representative may simply be other sales people or con artists in on the game. Ask for a list of their reps and pick people at random from the list to contact. Good luck. More people are doing work at home business. There are some great oppotunities out there, but there are also a lot of scams going, too. Always check with a lawyer before you sign any contracts.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I have been looking for over 2 years but most things require that you have home parties, actually go out and sell or are based on the pyramid sysyem, so you get very little money until you have many associates working underneath you. I found a good company but would make about $15 a month if i had 20 people buying products every single month regularly. That alone is difficult to get and for only $15. You need others working under you to make a bit of their profits which would take quite some time and begging others trying to sell your " business " to others. Some of the tactics I don't like. I had a woman offer me a contracting job where I would recruit managers for restaurants for her and make $1000-2000 per hire but it included alot of lying and taking assistant managerf from their current job and swaying them to another job all across the country. I don't like all the lying about what I am doing, who I am and scheming involved in this opportunity. It seems odd that a restataraunt would pay this woman $5000 to cold call people out of the yellow pages to try and find someone just on the phone sight unseen just to go for an interview. If they are hired and stay for 90 days we split the money. Why not just put an ad in the newspaper and take interviews? Sounds fishy and stressful too I think. I can't lie well so don't think it is for me. I really don't know what to even get involved in. Anything I have seen over the Internet or on TV turn out to be a raquet or like I said I have to run around and do home parties selling products. ???? I'm really lost at this.
